Changes coming to Ontario’s First Aid Program
The WSIB is launching a modernized First Aid Program on June 22, 2026! The updated program will enhance workplace safety by improving the quality and consistency of workplace first aid courses across Ontario, including essential AED training and CPR classes.
Here’s some of what you can look forward to:
· Training that’s in line with national standards
· A larger selection of approved training providers
· New names for training courses and certificates: Basic First Aid and Intermediate First Aid
· The ability to recertify Intermediate First Aid certificates with any WSIB-approved training provider, including out-of-province certificates that meet national standards
All current first aid requirements and WSIB-approved providers will remain in place until the WSIB launches the updated program. Certificates issued before June 22, 2026, will remain valid until they expire.
